Bikie threat to break Qld gym user's legs

A Brisbane gym-goer was confronted by a heavily-tattooed bikie who accused him of dealing drugs on his turf and threatened to break his legs, a court has heard.

The frightening confrontation allegedly occurred at a Carindale gym in 2013, when then-Bandidos sergeant-at-arms Brett Pechey mistook gym member Tony Halse for someone else, the Brisbane Magistrates Court was told.

"He said that if you are who (I think you) are, I'll break your legs," Mr Halse told a committal hearing for Pechey on Wednesday.

Pechey allegedly added "this is my turf and that's what we do, c***. If you're dealing then you owe me".

The Bandido tried to follow Mr Halse home and threatened to "smash (his) head in", according to Mr Halse's police statement.

Pechey, who later became the president of the Bandidos' West End chapter, surrendered into custody at Brisbane Airport in February after fleeing to southeast Asia.

He and three other former Bandidos were committed to stand trial on various charges including extortion, assault occasioning bodily harm and threatening violence by Magistrate Anne Thacker on Wednesday.
